Minstrel In The Gallery

Minstrel in the Gallery acoustic portion
Ian Anderson
(transcribed by Paul Tarvydas tarvydas@tsctrl.guild.org)capo 2nd fret

all chords relative to capo

/ = down strum

\ = up strumo = all strings open (if preceding Dsus2, then strings 1-4 open,
if preceding A, then strings 1-5 open, if preceding G, then 1-6
open)note: The last line "the friends he'd made" is a typical Andersonian
chord-morph. You should play with the fingering until you find
acombination which moves the fewest fingers at one time. Anderson
likes to keep one finger planted and change the chords around it. In
this case, I think he does thefollowing. He plants the 3rd finger of
the left hand as he changes from Dm to A7sus4. Am to C, he plants the
1st finger. C to Cadd9 he lifts the 3rd and places 2nd onthe 6th
string, keeping the 1st and 4th fingers planted.
